PCMag - The Convo with Evan Dashevsky

Richard Garriott (AKA "Lord British")

Richard Garriott (AKA "Lord British:"), the video
game pioneer behind the Ultima series reflects on the
industry he helped create and his many non-game adventures
including his time as a private space tourist who spent two weeks
orbiting the Earth. We delved into how drugs were an important part
of the early technology industry; how online games help keep
society from disintegrating; and why space is gross (but still
worth it).
